Cosplay Feature: Gray Oranges' Rikku!

Photo by David Ngo I won't ever shy away from writing about cosplays of Rikku's look from Final Fantasy X-2 and Gray Orange did a fantastic job portraying her in both the overall cosplay look PLUS the pose work. Of course I'll get to all that in due time but let's start at the top! It's certainly a cosplay worn for several events and I want to say I first saw this in the overall collection of MAGFest photos back in January of this year. I really love how the multiple braid strands are integrated into the blonde wig for starters. I can't tell if they're either part of the wig itself or the blue headband that's wrapped around. In any case, following this is a red scarf wrapped around Irini's neck before you then get to the yellow bikini top. Here, you can also see orange trim lines as part of the piece. Oh, I forgot to mention that the red scarf actually travels all the way down to her legs. These end points then transition to a yellow/orange gradient!

Cosplay Feature: LynnX Cosplay's Sora!

Through my friend Karlibra, I found out one of her first cosplay friends did this incredible Sora genderbend. So being the KH nut that I am, this outfit was definitely something I wanted to chat to you guys about :D. Compared to Sora's original design, Lynn simplified it to the cutest form. Here, she went with the KH2 design much like Karli's Riku. Short black shorts make up the bottom with yellow stripes traveling down her sides. A blue top with a red section down at the bottom makes up the top. White stripes are seen in this small area as well. Lynn also has a jacket made up of black, white and gray fabric parts. The gray on her shoulders give off that armor/pauldron vibe and looks so awesome.

Of course, it wouldn't be Sora without his iconic Keyblade and necklace! For the keyblade, Lynn went with the classic default Kingdom Key. I'm unsure as to how this was made or if it was purchased, but regardless it looks simply amazing. Lynn weilds it well especially in the poses she made both solo and with Karli like in the picture on the left. Lynn's hair looks beautiful as well! The necklace of the crown was definitely made and is another stand out piece in that you certainly can't miss it ^_^.

Lynn also made gloves which match Sora's design. A mixture of black, white and yellow fabric with lines going everywhere. That's Tetsuya Nomura for ya, crazy designer obsessed with zippers and crazy lines. The small boots look great as well. I just love this cosplay overall and am so happy that I discovered Lynn's work. She's AMAZING <3. Enjoy the other pictures guys!
